I went back to work when my little one was 4 months old and honestly - it was heartbreaking, especially when I worked with babies his age. Couldn’t stop crying through work so decided I’ll take a break and be a full time mum for a while, because it’s hard to leave my little one at home x
@Bee me too, I went full time when he was 5 months and it was just so hard! I ended up taking a years break during COVID and now I work in a completely different environment (but same field/industry), just 2 days a week which suits me a lot better
To be honest I never really went back to work full time and instead started a side business to have the flexibility. Working full time was so daunting so I totally hear you and know how you feel
